So there I was, vacationing with my creative spouse in Highland Park.I enjoy coffee the way she enjoys art. So I see cafe de leche on the corner and want to give it a shot.And out walks the shop.It’s okay, got the horchata con espresso. Balance of milk, sweet and coffee is good. Coffee just doesn’t taste good at all. Not sure if the beans are subpar or if the shot was pulled wrong or both.It’s ok. I guess.
Everything is great here, but my heart belongs to the Horchata con espresso ❤️
horchata was crazy bland, i wouldn’t even know it was supposed to be horchata if i didn’t look at the menu. there was no rice milk and almost no cinnamon, so i don’t even know what the horchata element was supposed to be. that being said, it was supposed to be accompanied by espresso, but even still the horchata flavor should’ve been stronger than just milk
My new favorite Breakfast Place.My favorite dishes for Breakfast, Croque Madame and Chilaquiles. Cafe de Leche version of both is amazing. Like a symphony of perfectly paired flavors in your mouth! The drinks are all so fresh and finely prepared the attention to detail is perfection in every way. If you want to experience a true foodie breakfast experience... this is the place. Strongly recommend exploring the menu.
Real weak, signs out people in there, I stand in line for a few minutes before I'm told they're closed. Couldnt muster up a drip coffee or shot of espresso. HEY guy in the flannel, we're closed. Come here quite a bit but now I'm thinking screw it I'll go to Mosaic coffee up street.
Ordered an Americano coffee. The barista was not very skilled. The coffee was overwhelmed with cream and tasted awful. They were courteous and nice but the coffee was not very good.
Their beans are good. Lots of variety.
My sister and I like to try new coffee locations and this place was definitely a place we would definitely go back to. Employees here are welcoming and friendly.
Great coffee and a super friendly staff! Definitely coming back
Pretty good crossaints and very tasty coffee, although the plain brew was naturally sweet and not very bitter so it depends on what you fancy.
